Attorney General Garland's sports

spend at least two or three years at his
shooting box on Hominy Hill. The
house is built in the heart OF an almost
unbroken wilderness. Here. surround

giving himself a long season of rest and
recreation. The region is famous for
its excellent trout streams and its
abundance of wild game. Deer and
even bears are by no means scarce,
while the supply of smaller game is
almost inexhaustible. The attorney
general is very successful angler
Last summer, just as he was starting on
his annual vacation, he tried TO per-
suade Senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina to accompany him by dwelling

COQUETTE.

When Harry Radcliffe married Co
quette Carson it had been q gen.
uine love-match. Coquette was one of
large family of dewy-eyed, rose-lipped
girls, whose faces were their fortunes.
At all events, orher fortunes they had
none. And the other five sisters secret
ly enyied Coquctte when the handsome
young artist took her away with half a
dozen new gowns n box of initiated
pocket and bonnet
fresh from the little milliner's around
the corner.
To be sure, Harry was not rich. but
it was only question of time, argued
the five sisters. how soon he should be
famous as Meissoner. rich as Cresus.
An artist like him was sure to succeed.
'.And what fun it would be to visit
Coquettc when she should be rich and
famous cried the five. in chorus.
Il haven't much faith in artists"
Old Colonel Carson said. dubiously.
"But Coqueite liked the fellow, SO what

So Harry carried The village beauty

for this meeting here to night. In COM
mon with our fellow citizens throughout
the whole country, il is meet and proper,
to memoriaiize those virtues taught
us IN the lives and services OF Generals
Logan and Free. To me, it often
seems as it the younger generation OF
Americans have but very hazy notions re-
garding the divine origin and grandeur OF
that christian civilization as manifested
IN Europe and especially in America.
They should be tanght that Washington
and the fathers, the puritan and the
cavalier, the protestant and the catholic
did Gods work in the founding OF this

Of this nation on the broad basis Of uni.

pie principal of philosophy as well 81
common sense and experience demon
strate beyond the shadow OF q douh,
that the very power to create or form ar
object 10 also necessary to its perpetua
ton. Do we wish therefore this christian
civilization to continuel Do we sincere
ly desire this majestic republic to las,
until time is no more? Let the young
generation then take their inspiration
from Q Lincoln, q Grant, a Logan and 8

Egan,a the BIO Grand.,

What is the San Angelo Railroad COM
mittee doing in this matter? Anything?
If not, it is high time something should
be done, and that in a business way. 1t
takes something besides maps, state
ments of resources, talk, etc, to secure
Il railroad, "as we said befOre," and the
Coleman people are cup 20 snuff in pre-
senting 6 solvent bond guaranteeing free
right of way through the county and do
pot grounds in the city, and pledging
themselves to indorse the action
OF their committee, whatever that
may be. What authority has been
conferred on the San Angelo
committee? Are they not practically pow
erless t. offer any Inducements in money
or any marketable value? 1t is only ten
days till the meeting of the dire tors of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad,
and if San Angelo is to be represented
and wants to cooperate with Coleman,
the citizens of which evidently mean bus
mess, as they "tske the bull right by the
HORNS" it is high time that something
was being done, and the San Angelo dele
gates must be armed with the same pow
ers that he Coleman committee is. Ire
term, "SalvatiOn's free," has no refer
enCe, nor was it ever intended
to have any, to RAILROAD salvation" be
cause Just as true as it is that "money
makes the mare 90" it is also true that
money makes railroads go-and nothing
else will. This is plain talk, but after
ell, there ia nothing like the plain and
good old U. S. to express yourself when
you want to make yourself understood,
aud in railroad matters especially, expe-
rience has shown that the lesser and
palmer the perIeying-the better and
more effectusl it will be-but the great
prerequisite, and one which, like blood,
